    Abstract: A thermally isolated multi-channel transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) may be used in a multi-channel optical transceiver. The multi-channel TOSA generally includes an array of lasers optically coupled to an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) to combine multiple optical signals at different channel wavelengths. The lasers, and possibly other components, are wire bonded to a thermal isolation bar. The thermal isolation bar provides an electrical connection to external circuitry and is thermally coupled to a temperature control device, such as a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Thus, the thermal isolation bar electrically connects the lasers to the circuitry while preventing external heat from being conducted to the lasers from outside the TOSA. The optical transceiver may be used in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical system, for example, in an optical line terminal (OLT) in a WDM passive optical network (PON).

    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a laser subassembly for use in a TOSA module that includes an integrated impedance matching network to enable a plurality of selectable resistance configurations to ensure the driving circuit and laser emitter of the TOSA module have matching, or substantially matching, impedances. The laser subassembly includes a substrate with a driving circuit disposed thereon. The driving circuit includes signal conductors for electrically coupling to an external transmit connecting circuit, a conductive laser mounting section, and an impedance matching network. The impedance matching network includes a plurality of resistors, with one or more of the resistors being selectively electrically coupled to the conductive laser mounting section to introduce a selected amount of impedance to minimize or otherwise reduce reflection.

    Abstract: In general the present disclosure is directed to a temperature control device, e.g., a TEC, that includes a top plate with at least first and second contact pads to allow for a soldering process to attach optical components to the first contact pad without causing one or more layers of the second contact pad to reflow and solidify with an uneven mounting surface. Thus, optical components such as a focus lens can be mounted to the second contact pad via, for instance, thermal epoxy. This avoids the necessity of a submount to protect the focus lens from the relatively high heat introduced during a soldering process as well as maintain the flatness of the second contact pad within tolerance so that the mounted focus lens optically aligns by virtue of its physical location/orientation with other associated optical components coupled to the first contact pad, e.g., a laser diode.

    Abstract: A coaxial transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) with optical isolator alignment correction may be used in an optical transceiver for transmitting an optical signal at a channel wavelength. The coaxial TOSA includes an optical fiber coupling receptacle extending from a laser package. The laser package may include a laser diode and a lens to focus laser light emitted from the laser diode onto an optical fiber. The laser diode and lens are aligned along a first longitudinal axis of the laser package parallel to a transmission path of the laser light. An optical isolator located in the transmission path is aligned along a second longitudinal axis of the laser package. The second longitudinal axis is coincident with a centerline of the laser package, and the first longitudinal axis is offset from the second longitudinal axis by a predetermined offset distance to compensate for light shifting characteristics of the isolator.

    Abstract: An optical sub-assembly cartridge for use in a multi-channel receiver optical sub-assembly (ROSA) is disclosed and includes pre-aligned demultiplexing optics. The optical sub-assembly cartridge may include a plurality of sidewalls which define a cartridge body and at least partially enclose a cavity therein. A sidewall of the cartridge body may include a sidewall opening configured to allow light to enter the cavity. A first optical filter disposed opposite the sidewall opening may receive light entering the cavity and be configured to pass unassociated channel wavelengths out of the cavity while reflecting associated channel wavelengths to a mirror disposed in the cavity. The mirror may then reflect the received channel wavelengths to a second optical filter within or external to the cavity. The second optical filter may emit a narrow spectrum of channel wavelengths to a photodiode package to convert the same to a proportional electrical signal.

    Abstract: A temperature controlled multi-channel transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) may be used in a multi-channel optical transceiver. The temperature controlled multi-channel TOSA generally includes an array of lasers optically coupled to an optical multiplexer, such as an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), to combine multiple optical signals at different channel wavelengths. The lasers may be thermally tuned to the channel wavelengths by establishing a global temperature for the array of lasers and separately raising local temperatures of individual lasers in response to monitored wavelengths associated with the lasers. A temperature control device, such as a TEC cooler coupled to the laser array, may provide the global temperature and individual heaters, such as resistors adjacent respective lasers, may provide the local temperatures. The optical transceiver may be used in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical system, for example, in an optical line terminal (OLT) in a WDM passive optical network (PON).
